Rave: Girls that like baseball.

[haltz]

I seriously cannot stand dating girls who are into baseball. It seems great for about a month, but it just ends up making me insane.

I didn't want to say anything because it would sound maybe a little sexist, but me either.

Don't get me wrong, I love all the women on this board, I do. It's just that my dad and I have always used Sports as my escape from the women in my family. If my SO was up in that territory, she'd have to be extraordinarily into it. Like equally as into it as me (tens of thousands of internet posts dedicated to it). They couldn't be casual fans.

I just want a girl who likes the fact that I'm into sports, likes going to games every once in a while but has her own stuff she is in to.

My last ex boyfriend hated baseball (and all sports). The boyfriend before that, I was with him 5 years and he was a red sox fan. A guy that I have been dating on and off for the last 3 years is a Mets fan.

I've never been able to watch baseball enjoyably with any of my boyfriends.

Doc, you're dating the wrong "men."

I like said, my wife will sometimes sit and watch a ballgame w/ me IF its a big game. Just you're typical game she has not interest in. She has fun going to a few games every year as well.

Her sport is hockey, she loves it. She follows her team like I follow the Cards. Before every game she's upstairs reading the game notes, knows all the players stats, and watches every game and is pissed when she misses one. I LOVE that about my wife, having a passion for a sport is very cool trait to have in a SO.

Usually it means they like girls.

My wife knows next to nothing about baseball. I'd love it if she knew as much as me, but to get her to that point is a job I'm not up to. And I know she's not THAT interested in it.

mrs. pop still thinks a homerun is a touchdown.

My theory (and experience) is that it's best to be with a girl that either:

-loves the hell out of the game
-knows nothing at all about the game

If she knows nothing, then teaching her about it is something you can share. And if she has no interest, then she won't bother you when you're into it. If she knows a lot, it's also something you can share. But the middle ground sucks and can be annoying. It's hard to explain.

I agree completely with Fancy.

The women that annoy me the most are the ones who claim to be huge Cardinal fans, but really just like wearing all the clothes and going to games to talk with their friends. So if I meet a girl and she claims to be a huge Cards fan, I proceed very cautiously.

My husband loves the fact that I love baseball (and most other sports); we have a great time at baseball, basketball and football games. I'm also his company's secret weapon at trivia nights at the local bars. Since he and most of his co-workers are from Germany, they don't know much about US sports.....I feel like a sports genius when I play for their trivia team!

[GatewaySnayke]

I'm pretty much with thrill and haltz, although I do know a girl who has the Cardinals game app on her Facebook page. Plus she loves Scott Rolen, so this means she pays somewhat attention. I'd definitely giggity her goshoika, but I'd rather her not mention Cincinnati's third-order wins or Albert's WARP3.

Those are the worst. Or the ones that say they know a bunch of stuff and then flat-out lie to you. I once knew a girl that claimed that she had gotten drunk one night with Cal Ripken. Granted, she was the craziest girl I ever knew... but it was a ridiculous lie.
